As the quarter-final match between RC Pobednik MOZZART and Battai Bulldogok RC is approaching, and we already presented Hungarian club (Introducing gas.hu Battai Bulldogok RC), there are some facts about Serbian champion.
RC Pobednik MOZZART was founded in 1996 and from the beginning the bright future of the club could be seen. The first Serbian National Championship title was won in the season 1999/2000, than again in season 2001/02, and since 2006, Pobednik holds the crown firmly in their hands. Pobednik also won two Serbian National Cups, and last but not least, Pobednik were three times vice-champions of the RRC competition.
In the youth categories Pobednik is the most successful club in the country in last few years. Their players and coaches are an indispensable part of their National Teams in U18 and as well in senior squads, in XVs and as well in Sevens competitions. In last year FIRA-AER competitions Serbian National rugby teams had great success, they improved their standings in U18 (from group C to group B of Justin Bridou European Championship) and in Sevens (from group B to group A of FIRA-AER European Championship).
In their own words, their team is a mixture of youth and experience with greatest strength in unity, fighting spirit and unbreakable team spirit. From number one to twenty two, each of their players are always motivated and eager to play in the way that RC Pobednik MOZZART is known about.
Long story short, people from RC Pobednik MOZZART are inviting all to come to Belgrade on 18th of March and to enjoy, hopefully, a rugby spectacle!

Spring part of the 2011/2012 RRC season starts next Saturday on March 10th. After three months of winter break, competition will continue with the RRC play-offs. Eight clubs that have merited their place in RRC quarterfinal matches are: RK Nada Split, RK Pobednik Mozzart Beograd, RK Zagreb, Esztergomi Vitézek Suzuki RSE, RC Donau Wien, RK Čelik Zenica, Battai Bulldogok RC and RK Ljubljana.
Due to the early commitment of Slovenian National Team in FIRA-AER ENC match vs. Switzerland on March 17th, first two clubs who will play RRC quarterfinal match are RK Nada Split and RK Ljubljana – Croatian and Slovenian champions. The match is scheduled for March 10th in Split. Both teams are composed of high quality and talented players eager to prove to the international scene, so we can expect an attractive and high-quality match.
On March 17th next two matches are scheduled: Esztergomi Vitézek Suzuki RSE will host RC Donau Wien in Esztergom and RK Pobednik Mozzart Beograd awaits Battai Buldoggok RC in Belgrade.
In Esztergom we are expecting the clash of two teams very equal in quality and both not hiding their ambitions to join the highest standing teams. RC Donau Wien, Austrian champion, presented themselves in their first RRC season as a solid opponent who can offer good and solid play both in Vienna and away.
The best Serbian club RK Pobednik Mozzart will welcome the second, but not weaker, Hungarian representative – the team of Battai Bulldogok RC. The Belgrade team has home ground advantage and more experience in RRC where they have finished three times as runners-up, but they can’t expect easy task. Hungarians have produced fairly portion of trouble to four time RRC champion Nada when they played in Split last autumn during Pool Phase, and motivation and stakes are much higher in this play-off match.
The fourth 2012 RRC quarterfinal match on March 18th in Zagreb will play RK Zagreb and RK Čelik Zenica. Both teams have significantly improved their game, now matching the quality of best RRC teams. There will be recognizable Zagreb “rational game” on one side, and fanaticism and fighting spirit of rugby players from Zenica, both eager to prove their return on the path to success.
